Despite heavy rainfall, the Chief of Staff to the Governor of Kogi State, Ali Bello, on Tuesday inspected the ongoing construction of the ultra-modern market project in Lokoja, reaffirming the state government’s commitment to delivering critical infrastructure that will stimulate economic activities and create business opportunities.
The inspection tour saw the Chief of Staff accompanied by the Commissioner for Works, Barr. Salami Momodu Ozigi Deedat; the Commissioner for Housing and Urban Development, Hon. Abanika Haruna Ohiani Taiye; the Majority Leader of the Kogi State House of Assembly, Hon. Suleiman Abdulrazak; and the Chief Consultant on the project, Hon. Kabir Onorouiza.
Addressing contractors and project officials at the site, Ali Bello commended the pace of work and emphasized the importance of the market project to the economic transformation agenda of Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo.
He urged the contractors to treat the project with utmost dedication and commitment, stressing that the administration expects the facility to become a major commercial centre capable of attracting investors and boosting trade in the state.
“This project should be handled as though it is your personal investment. The expectations of the government and the people of Kogi State are high because this market is strategically designed to transform Lokoja into a major commercial hub and drive economic growth,” he said.
The Chief of Staff noted that Governor Ododo’s administration remains focused on delivering impactful infrastructure projects that will improve the livelihoods of citizens and position Kogi State as a destination for investment and commerce.
